Abstract
Davao Region is one of the most agriculturally productive regions in the Philippines. It is the country's top producer of banana and coconut. In this study, light detection and ranging (LIDAR) technology was employed for the accurate assessment of agricultural, coastal and forest resources in Davao Region. A total area of 5799 km2 of LiDAR data were processed into bioresource maps for the municipalities in Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, Davao Oriental, and Compostela Valley. The high resolution (0.5 m) maps provided detailed information on spatial variation of existing bioresources. The LIDAR-generated maps facilitated the understanding of varying ecological, public health, social, economic and management processes. The utilization and management of bioresources in Davao Region is crucial for sustainable economic development of Mindanao Island, Philippines.
